Behind The Awkwardness: The Big Dig 2
August 8th, 2011
“This is my family. Maybe 1977. The beautiful backdrop of the golden sunset on wallpaper accentuates the glow of happiness on our faces. My little sister is clearly the champion. My dad was a part time photographer in the 70′s, and we took lots of posed family portraits. This one my sister found deep in the archives of old negatives. It never saw the light of day….until now!”

Looks like the picture wasn’t the only thing she had to dig deep for…
That’s my cousin. Isn’t she cute. I love this picture. She’s definitely not a gold digger.
Your mother is GORGEOUS!
That is the first thing I noticed about the picture, then the nose picking.
My dad’s favorite quote “You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose!”
Aw! I think its cute! She was soooo little. At least she wasn’t 15 yrs old with her finger in her nose
While this picture is just seeing the light of day for the first time, I bet her finger still hasn’t!
It was a scratch, not a pick!
“An’ what if I did do it? Even though I admit to nothing, and never will. What does that make me? And I’m not here just defending myself but all those Pickers out there who’ve been caught. Each an’ every one of them, who has to suffer the shame and humiliation because of people like you. Are we not human?! If we pick, do we not bleed?! I am not an animal!”
–Jerry Seinfeld, picker
Wow…a pick chewer within a picture.
I’ve never heard of nostrils being referred to as “archives” before.
LOL
HA!!!
Wonder if her brain was damaged from that deep digging?
I don’t know. I think maybe Dad’s leisure suit in front of a background that is obviously swampy is more awkward than the nose pic. Oh sure, I always wear a suit when we’re going to be at the fens!
Looks like your sister was good at “digging things out”!
This wouldn’t happened if we all looked like Hollywood!… Wait! Even old Hollywood pics look ridiculous! I am looking forward the laughs we’ll have in 30 years with all the nose rings, the tattoos and the pants half-way down the butt
At least it wasn’t her middle finger!
That…. is priceless.
I ain’t sayin she’s a gold digger……
Diggin’ for gold, she is!
You can pick your nose, but you can’t pick you family!
